This is a long shot, but I thought I would ask-
NYC public school teachers can apply for leaves of absence and sabbaticals after 7 years of service. I would like to take one of these (prefer the sabbatical) to do some work, volunteer or otherwise, in Guatemala for 6months to a year (depending on what is approved by the dept. of education).
I was hoping a NYC teacher who has gone throught this process, or an NGO/organization who has helped or worked with teachers in this situation, who could help me out, give me their thoughts, etc. I am especially interested in the "special project" sabbatical and how I can go about planning one of those.
Thanks. John.

Re: NYC Teachers teaching in Guatemala
Its been two years since I first posted this.
Looking to hear from NYC teachers who have been able to get a teaching assignment approved by the NYC DOE in Guatemala, specifically Xela. Getting closer and closer to actually trying to do this.
Anyone?

Also - if anyone knows how to figure out what schools are "approved" by the State Department (NYC requirement), whatever that means.
